Random Izuku Midoriya Headcanons

BABY BOY. Send tweet.

I’m not getting into manga spoilers of course.

This lil’ green bean is your biggest cheerleader. You wanna be a hero? Hell yeah, he’ll be there to encourage you while you work for it! You wanna be a vigilante? A little more concerning, but he wouldn’t rat you out to the cops unless you did something really illegal (like kill heroes, Stain).

On the flip side, if you became a villain, he would be heartbroken. At first he’d insist that you were probably coerced or brainwashed into joining, but once you both cross paths and he realizes that you joined willingly... well, he’s gotta take you down one way or another. Thankfully, he’s willing to go easy on you if you’ll just let him take you down.

SERIOUS MORAL COMPASS. Growing up idolizing heroes can do that to you in the long run. Izuku believes in doing the right thing, even if it goes against a law in doing so.

You know those memes where people compare “stereotypical delinquent” Bakugo to “nerdy goody-two-shoes” Midoriya? Yeah, those are 100% correct. Izuku would absolutely throw down any day of the week, regardless of who the person is. If he perceives them as working against the side of good, your ass is getting Detroit Smashed. And not in the sexy way.

At least he’s incredibly loyal. Izuku is the kind of person who would help you run from the cops if you were justified in what you did. After going to Yuuei, his worldview of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ as been knocked a little off-kilter as he’s gained experience in the field, but his core morals still remain. He’s just a little more likely to break laws to achieve it.

So happy to have actual friends that he documents literally everything you tell him. His slightly-creepy habit of writing everything down (and mildly stalking you) might come out for a bit, so if it creeps you out, please tell him to back off a little. He’s not doing it to be creepy or perverted, he’s genuinely just a little clingy because he has horrible abandonment issues. Doesn’t mean it’s not creepy, though.

Ah yes, he can be a bit clingy in your early stages of a friendship. It’s a bad habit that he has to shake, but with your help, he’ll be able to ease up a little.

If you identify as female, good luck getting past the super blushy phase with him. This poor boy is so nervous around girls, it’s likely that you might think he’s weird in the beginning just because of how red he gets and how he can’t stop stuttering in front of you. Getting paired together during PE will greatly help him get out of that shyness, though. Training and battle do wonders to get him to focus and see past your gender differences.

Are you non-binary? Genderfluid? Trans? No problem! All you have to do is say something and he’ll address you accordingly. He has literally no problem accepting you for who you are. Depending on how you identify, he might get curious and ask tons of questions. He’s not trying to irritate you or mock you! He just wants to learn everything he can about your identity so that he can better understand you. He’s so eager to learn, it’s adorable.

Headcanon that he has an absolute GLOW UP in his second and third years of high school. Y’know All Might when he was training with his Quirk for the first time? Yeah, that. He’s already hella ripped, but imagine him with a growth spurt (putting him somewhere about 5′8″ to 5′9″). Imagine. IMAGINE. Girls crush on him. Boys crush on him. Everybody is just so amazed at how much he grew up.

Genuinely sees good in just about everyone, no matter how villainous.

That being said...

Heavily dislikes Endeavor, and not just because he made the connection between him and Bakugo when they met at the Sports Festival for the first time (and especially when Shouto talked about his abusive behavior). Wouldn’t wish ill on him and wouldn’t randomly antagonize him, but he cringes whenever he hears someone gush about the (now) Number One Hero and works harder to encourage Shouto in his own ambitions as a hero-hopeful.

“All Might wouldn’t have abused his children,” he’s muttered on at least one occasion. “All Might doesn’t have a massive steel rod stuck up his ass 24/7.”

He is glad that Endeavor is trying to change, but will not give him any wiggle room when it comes to his behavior around his family.

Gave Shouto an All Might figurine for his birthday, partly as a petty jab at Enji, and mostly because he knows how much his friend loved the hero when he was growing up. (Shouto absolutely loved it. It stands proudly in his bedroom now.)

100% the type to freak out over new up-and-coming heroes and ask for their autographs as a grown-up, then start crying out of happiness when they ask for his in return. His love of heroes never really fades as he gets older, it just matures with him.

Sometimes when dealing with the more egotistical heroes, he genuinely wonders about Stain’s ideology. “Stain was probably right,” he says to himself, before snapping out of it. “No, focus, Izuku. Hero-killing is off the table.” Sometimes it’s reeeeally hard not to think about.

He’s ran into Spinner once or twice. The villain was kind of awkward around him, but he was polite enough (and was quite obviously buying groceries and not causing havoc), so Izuku was polite enough to leave him alone. They ended up bonding over having to deal with trigger-happy, hot-blooded teammates/friends. Whenever one sees the other, they either wave and keep moving or just nod politely.

Please, just... give me Izuku/villain friendships please. I crave. I need.

We can try? 3

(Final)

“You know, we never did get to the lower half,” Patton said, a grin growing on his face as he watched Virgil stiffen.

“Y-yeah, we didn’t.” Virgil felt his face grow warm, hoping that his makeup would cover it as memories danced through his brain.

“We could fix that now, if you wanted?”

Virgil bit his lip, carefully not looking at Patton’s grin. “Uh, we could… if you wanted to.”

“Oh, that’s fine, I can wait.” Patton said, settling back in his chair and dropping the subject entirely.

Virgil was left dumbfounded, phantom tickles ghosting under his shirt.

It only got worse as the day went on. His thoughts constantly coming back around to it, over and over.

It was on purpose, it had to be. But darn if it wasn’t working! By evening, Virgil could barely stand it. Especially knowing it was so easy to do something about.

He found himself outside Patton’s door, giving a light knock. As soon as the door was open, a smug smile spread over Patton’s face. “Yes? Did you want something?”

“I-uh— we could— do the, the thing now?” Virgil mumbled, feeling his cheeks and ears get hot.

Patton stepped aside to let him in and shut the door, waving his hand over it to soundproof and lock it.

“Do what thing?”

Virgil took in a deep breath and his blush grew darker. Patton was going to make him say it??? “The t—“ his voice caught in his throat, and he turned it into a cough.

“Take your time,” Patton teased.

“The— I want you to— Totickleme!” He only managed it by rushing it out in one breath at the end, and squeezing his eyes shut.

“Aww, Virge, I thought you would never ask! I’d be happy to tickle you!” Patton cooed. “How do you want to do this? Do you want to be tied up again?”

Virgil nodded, biting down on his lip.

“What? I couldn’t hear you~” Patton said.

Virgil let out a frustrated growl. “Yes! Yes, I want you to tie me up.”

“Aww, you don’t have to be mad,” Patton said, cupping Virgil’s face in his hands. “It’s just a bit of teasing. Wanna lay down for me?”

Virgil laid down and let Patton tie him up.

“You ready?” Patton asked, resting a hand on his stomach.

“Yeah, I’m ready.”

Patton climbed up on the bed and sat on Virgil’s shins.

“I’ve never tried tickling legs and feet before, so you’ll have to tell me how I’m doing, ok?”

“O-ok…” Virgil said.

Patton started off with lights squeezes around Virgil’s knees, causing Virgil to jerk around. “How is it here? Does it tickle?”

“It— yeah, some.”

Patton moved up a little, squeezing at his thighs sporadically. “How about here?”

Virgil was jerking harder, but it was more reflexes, not because it tickled. “Not so much.”

“Aww… how about now?”

Patton moved to tickling directly behind Virgil’s knees. Virgil had been more relaxed, and wasn’t expecting the laughter to sneak up on him like it had, and he couldn’t hold any of it back, pulling at his legs and cackling and snorting.

“Oh, come on, it can’t be that bad~” Patton said. “I’m barely even trying! Now this might tickle!”

Patton sped up his fingers and Virgil nearly died cackling. He couldn’t pull his legs away, or even fold them up to protect the tender spot, and that was almost worse than the tickling itself. Patton’s fingers danced around, and he kept coping encouragements to keep laughing.

“Your laugh is so cute, Virge!”

“Ihihis nohot!”

“It is too! And I won’t stop tickling this spot until you admit it!”

Somehow, the tickling got even worse.

“Pahahatton! Plehehease!”

“Please tickle you even more?? Oh, it’s my pleasure, Virgil!”

“Stohohop!”

“Oh, you know how to make me stop. You’ve just gotta say that you’ve got a cute little laugh.”

“Ihihi hahahahave—- ahh! Phahha!”

“You have what, little Lee?”

The tickling let up only just enough for Virgil to reply.

“Ahaha cuhute laugh!”

“Ohh! Yes, you do!” Patton finally moved his hands away. “You’ll get just a little break while I figure out what I’m going to do with your feet. Want some water?”

Virgil nodded. “Ye-ah.”

Patton untied Virgil’s hands to get him some water, and then took his box down to the bottom of the bed and rummaged around in it, letting out ‘ooh’s and ‘oh, I’ll use this one!’ Virgil couldn’t see anything but the top of his head from where he was crouched, but he suspected that that was the point. Patton popped back up.

“Ready now?”

Virgil bit his lip, like he always seemed to do when he was nervous. He didn’t think that his feet would be ticklish, but he wouldn’t have guessed it about his knees either, and Patton seemed to have a full plan already.

“I-I guess…”

“You guess what?” Patton smirked.

Oh, not this again! “I’m ready for you to— to tickle me again.”

Patton’s smile got bright and happy. “Ah, I knew you could do it, Virge!”

Patton fixed his arms back, and gave him a pillow that propped his head up so he could see what was happening to his feet. He pulled up a chair for himself at the foot of the bed, and pulled off Virgil’s shoes and socks.

“I’ll need your help again, Virgil, to tell me what works.”

“A-alright.”

“Thank you. Now, why don’t we start reeeeally light~” Patton pulled out a feather and brushed it lightly over Virgil’s feet.

It sent tingles running around, but didn’t tickle too badly. Until it slipped in between two of his toes, making him let out a squeak and try to jerk his foot back.

“What is it?” Patton asked.

“No-nothing!”

“Nooothing~? Are you sure? There’s no spots here that are ticklish?” Patton held the feather, fluttering it in the air close, but not touching.

Virgil’s feet jerked involuntarily, his skin crawling with anticipation. But Patton still held back, waiting on his answer.

“Such a shame~ Nowhere on these little feet is ticklish~ I guess we’ll have to stop~”

“No! It—it’s the—it’s the toes.”

“Where on the toes~?” Patton teased further, inching the feather closer but still not touching.

“I-in between!” Virgil squeaked, his whole body tensing up.

The feather slipped down and in between his toes, sending Virgil into cascades of squeaks and giggles. He tried scrunching his toes up, but wherever Patton wanted to go with the feather, he pulled back the toes with his other hand, leaving Virgil entirely incapable of protecting himself.

It tickled so bad! Virgil wasn’t going into hysterics anytime soon, but this type of tickling made him want to pull away so much more!

Finally Patton set the feather down, granting Virgil a tiny break while he picked his next tool. He pulled out a makeup brush and ran it over Virgil’s foot.

Now that wasn’t so bad. No matter whether he went slowly or quickly, straight or in swirles, it didn’t tickle too much, just made Virgil squirm his feet around.

“You can try a different one,” Virgil suggested, though he knew that it could be just as bad, or worse, than the feather had been.

“Alright, I will. You know, I don’t think I’ve tried these for anything.” Patton pulled out both electric toothbrushes, switching them on.

Virgil flinched, his grin widening as he imagined just what those could do.

And then they were set loose on his feet. Virgil was kept in constant laughter, especially when Patton discovered that the creases just underneath his toes were especially susceptible to the toothbrushes.

“Ooh, Virgil! I’ve had a wonderful idea!”

Patton grabbed some tape from somewhere, and taped the toothbrushes in place on Virgil’s heels. It wasn’t the worst place, but it did keep him plenty giggly. Then Patton pulled out the other tool, still with the feather attached, and turned it on too.

Virgil’s eyes went wide, suddenly realizing the plan.

“Wahahhaait!!!”

But Patton just gave an evil laugh before the feather was dipping in and around his toes. Virgil squealed and bucked against the restraints, trying in vain to get away from the overwhelming sensations on his feet.

And he’d been arrogant enough to think that he didn’t have ticklish feet. Patton continued, making him feel exactly how very wrong that thought had been.

Virgil hadn’t been prepared for such an intense tickling.

“Sssahahanders!”

Patton stopped immediately with the tool, though the toothbrushes took a few more seconds to turn off. He rubbed Virgil’s feet firmly, slowly dispelling the tingles and tickles left behind.

“How’re you doing, kiddo?”

“I’m fantastic, Pat.” Virgil was still panting, feeling like his whole body was glowing. “Thank you.”

“Anytime, kiddo.” Patton smiled, and untied Virgil, fussing over his ankles and wrists where he’d pulled too hard. “Next time, let’s try it without these, yeah?”

Virgil was very willing to be tickled without the restraints, but even more unwilling to accidentally hurt Patton if he was flailing around. “Well, we can try?”

hiya! if its not a bother, can you please do headcanons on how the rfa(plus saeran and v bc i adore them) helps mc out of a really bad slump. i've been out of it lately and it would really help, thanks!

Oh man, I feel you buddy. I’m sorry this is so late. I reeeeally feel you lolol ^^;;

Zen:

You have never been pampered like this boy will pamper you

Two words: Spa day.

Whether that means going to an actual spa together or sitting at home and letting him pamper you himself is up to you. He’s fine with either option.

Spa day, makeup day, hairstyle day, he can and will do it all for you.

After all, how can you be upset if you’re busy feeling beautiful?

The fact is that you’re always beautiful of course, but he understands if you’re not feeling it. And even if you are, it never hurts to pile more beauty on.

He’ll do your face, your nails, your hair, you’ll look like a mythical deity when he’s done with you.

Or, you know, exactly like you but with colorful eyes and nails.

He’ll let you paint his nails too, if it makes you feel better.

You can braid each other’s hair~

Once you’re all beauty-ed out, he’ll offer to take you on a scenic ride on his motorcycle too (as long as you wear all the proper protective equipment)

(Safety first)

Or he’ll take you on a relaxing walk around the city, maybe even on a picnic.

You’re not sure how but Zen knows all the best spots

Of course, your outing will take you through at least some crowded areas. Nothing boosts your confidence like having people halt to a stop to stare at you with awed eyes and slack jaws.

When you finally get home you’ll definitely get some massages from Zen.

He looked up a how to video online

You two sit together on the couch while he puts on whatever you want to watch

(Preferrably something he can sing along to. Bonus if you’ll sing with him~

And you can plop whatever body part is most in need of de-stressing right into his waiting hands

Take that as PG or R as you’d like

Yoosung:

Oh boy. He gets it.

You’re talking to a depressed university student here, he totally understands what it’s like to be in a slump.

He decides that you need to take your mind off things for a little while.

And the best way to do that? Video game day!

It’s the closest a poor university student can get to taking a vacation hahaha

On our menu today we have a light appetizer of some Mario Party, followed by your choice of Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros depending on what you want him to kick your ass in

Honestly he’ll play whatever game you want. He’ll probably even try and go easy on you.

Key word: try. He may or may not be a little bit competitive. He’ll do it for you though.

Unless you notice and are offended. Then he’ll stop.

He just wants you to have fun.

He’ll even let you be player one in all the games, because you’re player one in his heart E>

Yoosung stop that’s cheesy

Once you’re all gamed out and refreshed he’ll hold you and play with your hair

And he tells you that he knows you can do anything you put your mind to

So don’t worry

This’ll pass

And he’ll be by your side through all the ups and downs to support and encourage you

He’ll make you dinner too, to energize and refresh you with his love. Every night. Whatever you want. Pick your favourite food, he can look up a recipe for it if he doesn’t know how to make it.

He’ll let you help if you want. Cooking together is a great mood fix!

He’ll even find a way to arrange your food in smiley faces and decorate it with hearts to try and cheer you up because he’s a dork like that

Jaehee:

This woman lived in a permanent slump for years when she worked at C&R.

A slump formed of endless exhaustion and over-exertion

And yet even when she’s at her absolute worst she’s still the hardest worker you know

So obviously she’s the best one to go to for this.

Step One: Coffee.

(Most of Jaehee’s plans start with coffee, to be honest.)

She’ll use all the fancy tricks she’s learned from running her coffee shop to make you the perfect cup of coffee.

Some days she’ll change it up and make you a latte instead

Because she’s been practicing latte art

And how can you not feel energized after being presented with such beautiful art?

Especially beautiful art that’s filled with caffeine?

She also has a ton of little tips and tricks on how to make it through the day when all you want to do is scream into a pillow and go to bed

One of them happens to be scream into a pillow when you first wake up. Let all the frustration out so you don’t end up snapping and blowing up right in the face of your rich ass slave driver of a–

…Jaehee are you okay?

Ahem. As she was saying, stress release is very important.

She’s also an advocate for exercise as a form of stress relief.

She invites you to go for a run with her (she won’t even invite Zen to come along unless you request it, which is super flattering. She wants to run with just you~)

Even if you’re not feeling up for it the sight of her in a tank top and shorts with her slowly growing-out hair tied back in a short adorable ponytail and her bangs held out of her face by a golden yellow hairband that brings out the soft, gold glow of her eyes is a sight that would brighten anyone’s day

You tell her as much and her responding blush double-brightens your day

If you’re not up for it, she’ll encourage you do to some kind of exercise around the house.

Preferably while listening to one of Zen’s musicals, but she’ll put on whatever you want. She only suggests it because she knows one that’s particularly inspiring.

If you are feeling up for it she’ll make sure she matches whatever pace you’re up for going, even if that means not going above a brisk walk.

This outing is for you, after all.

She’ll reassure you that wherever you’re at right now, you’ll be back on your feet eventually.

Until then, she’s more than happy to take care of you, whatever that may entail.

Jaehee wins girlfriend of the year.

Every year.

Jumin:

Slump? What’s that?

“Slump” is not in this man’s dictionary.

(Which is kind of a lie, although it’s pretty rare for him. If there is work that he wants to be done he always feels like doing it, since not doing it would bother him more than his other problems do.)

(He does suffer from prioritizing other things over work sometimes when he’s stressed but that doesn’t really stress him out since he just? Doesn’t care about work at the moment?)

You tell him you’re just feeling really low, and that you’re having trouble doing the things you need to get done.

He’s like

Why don’t you just… do the things?

Forgive him he’s trying

He’s honestly not quite sure what to do?

First of all, if he can, he’ll do the things for you or hire someone else to do them. He certainly understands the frustration of things not being done when they need to be done

Outside of that, though… he’s not sure.

Tell him what you want and it’s yours?

He’ll make you strawberry pancakes even if it is dinnertime.

And wine, because, well. Wine. It’s a cure all.

Pancakes and wine, the finest of fine dining

At night he’ll hold you close and whisper reassurances in your ear until you fall asleep.

He’ll basically do anything and everything he can to fix the problem

(He’ll even rub your clothes with catnip while you’re asleep so that you get extra cuddles from Elizabeth the 3rd the next day. Kitty cuddles are another of his cure all.)

He might back down slightly if you tell him that it’s not something that needs to be fixed so much as it is a time you need to work through

Then he’ll switch from speedy problem solving mode to unconditional love and support mode.

(There will still be wine and kitty cuddles though.)

Seven:

JOKES

MEMES

PRANKS

~*~*Defender of Justice 707*~*~ will pull out all the stops to make you smile

“What do you call it when Batman doesn’t go to church? Christian Bale!”

“How many ears does Spock have? Three! A left ear, a right ear, and a final frontier~”

Yeah, that’s right, he’s bringing out the big guns.

Seriously he’s spent his life fighting off constant slumps using humour and damn if he’s not gonna use his leet memer skillz to help you through yours

He also decides he’s going to make you dinner

Oh God please no

Don’t worry, it doesn’t take him long to realize that he does not, in fact, know how to make dinner.

He does, however, make a kickass mac and cheese.

He knows all the tricks to make it perfect.

Adding just the right amount of milk, and putting real melted cheese on top...

Yeah, that’s right, he even has real food in the house. Look at him, it’s like he’s a real adult.

Except that it’s only there because you bought it.

He garnishes each bowl with a couple Honey Buddha chips. (You know, like fancy restaurants use those leafy things? Except it’s a sprinkle of crumbs and one single chip sticking up in the middle.)

Also he built you a small robot watch that generates one (1) meme per hour.

(It looks kind of like the Apple watch except the screen is shaped like a pop-tart/cat it’s nyan cat okay and the band is a rainbow.)

It’s called the iMeme

He also builds you a cat robot that’s sole purpose is to compliment and encourage you

(Well, “built”. He just reprogrammed one of his old projects and taped a picture of his face on the front).

It’s called the iSaeyoung

And he also–

Saeyoung stop building things

For serious though, he’ll support you through it. Whatever you need, he’ll get it for you. If you need a day off, he’ll arrange it so you’re both free to lounge around and watch or do whatever you want. If you need a shoulder to cry on, what a coincidence, he has two. If you need encouragement, he has tons for you.

If you need someone murdered–

Saeyoung no

Saeran:

Oh god you’re upset what is he supposed to do

When he’s upset he usually does unhealthy and self destructive things he has no positive coping methods to suggest (especially none that he can think of when he’s actively stressing out like this) and he’s certainly not going to suggest any of his bad ones to you

(He’s a hypocrite that way)

What do normal people do when someone they care about is upset???

Saeyoung would probably make you laugh

(Although he’s not sure Saeyoung is the best example of a “normal person”)

(It’s all he’s got to go on, he’s not exactly Mr. Popular)

“Uh, hey.”

Okay, so he’s got your attention. Now quick, think of something funny.

“Imagine if clouds could like… fall on people.”

…what the fuck, Saeran.

“I mean like, if blankets of cotton just fell from the sky and squished people.”

Oh my god stop talking, quick, think of a joke

“I-I mean… How do you make seven an even number?”

abort abort why is that the first joke that came to his mind goddamnit Saeyoung oh my god he needs to walk away right now immediately before you respond–

“…I don’t know, why?”

great. no escape now saeran, you have to answer. well, having friends was nice while it lasted.

His response is quiet, muttered out like he had to forcefully drag it out of his increasingly flushed stupid face with a tow truck.

“…you take off the S.”

…

He tried, okay? And it’s not his fault. He has a really good memory and his idiot brother keeps filling it with trash. He hates that his brain has a database of shitty 707 jokes more than you could possibly know.

But then you laugh.

And he turns even more red because he’s still embarrassed and holy shit you are godsend how could his shitty attempts cause such a wonderful sound?

You realize that this is his way of trying to cheer you up and the fact that he cares enough to tell you such an embarrassingly bad joke

Saeyoung is offended

is enough to lift your spirits even if only slightly

This is your chance to explain to him that you’re fine, you’re just… down lately.

Which gives him an opportunity to awkwardly ask what he can do to help, since he obviously doesn’t know. And he’s still working on this whole communication thing.

You tell him to just… be there.

And he nods. He can do that. He’d love to do that.

“And watch my back in case of falling clouds, okay Chicken Little?”

He doesn’t even get the reference but he is so red

It becomes an inside joke, which eventually leads to a day of Saeran sitting out of sight somewhere and throwing cotton balls at people while you point and scream “the sky is falling!”

Saeyoung is super proud

V notices that you’re not feeling your usual self.

He almost immediately arranges a nice sit down conversation about it over tea

(V has the best tea. You don’t know how he can make tea taste so good but he does? Maybe it’s because he has fancy rich people tea?)

He expresses his concern for you.

He tells you he’s here for you, whatever you need.

He tells you he understands. He’s been there.

Which is a little surprising to hear, since you can’t imagine the man before you flopping down on the couch and whining the way you are.

(He casually does not mention that he has in fact done exactly that before. Just ask Jumin.)

But he’s had artists block before

Another surprising one, considering how great literally every picture you’ve ever seen of his turns out

Seriously even his selfies are goddamn art.

You ask him how he gets past things like that

He smiles and tells you to that you just have to step away from the situation for a while and approach it from a different angle

And sometimes it’s easier to do with a cup of tea in one hand and the hand of someone you love in the other

V how do you take pictures if your hands are full, huh?

…It’s a metaphor.

When you’re done your talk, you’re surprised by a sudden flash of light.

You briefly wonder where the camera came from, but it’s V. Somehow, he always has a camera within reach.

At your confused look he’ll give you a smile (you know, the one that looks like angels painted it on his face themselves)

And explain that it’s a “before” picture. He’ll take a matching one “after” you find your way back out of the slump into the sunlight. To show you how far you’ve come.

Hopefully his cheesiness and ever present faith in you will lift you up.

If not, then he’ll just be there for you to fall down on.

(You’re working on him not feeling responsible (and guilty) for all of your problems. He’s trying his best.)

Vanderwood:

Vanderwood would notice immediately that something is up with you

They are a secret intelligence agent after all

And 707′s babysitter

So they’re used to recognizing the changes in someone’s behaviour

(Not that they’re overly focused on you or anything

You’re just.

You know.

You’re there.

So.

Of course they noticed.)

…now what

They’re good at the noticing part. They’re not so good at the doing emotions thing.

They’ll just spend more time around you.

They show up at your door muttering some story about how they were bored or needed somewhere to stay or whatever

They bring you their favourite books (which is saying a lot like they only own like two books and they’re giving them to you???)

They kind of… awkwardly drop (read: neatly stack) the books on the nearest table with some excuse about how they’re a pain to move around from place to place so you should just have them

and then they just

Stand there.

Which leads to them cleaning the nearest cleanable thing

(One upside, no matter how down you’re feeling your house will always be clean. Cleaning is Vanderwood’s thing.)

While they’re cleaning they would talk without looking at you because that makes it less awkward

“This’ll pass, you know.”

Their voice is just the slightest hint softer than usual.

“You just have to keep on going and it’ll pass. Everything does. Just ride it out and things will get better.”

“And, uh. Remember that you’ve got people who can help you. Like the RFA. And you have m–…”

They’re red now. Their voice raises as they continue, as though the volume can hide their embarrassment.

“And clean your goddamn house once in a while! Geez, anyone would be upset in this mess. I guess I’ll keep doing it, if you won’t.”

They don’t mind, really. If you look guilty or anything they’ll quickly tell you that. They like cleaning. And it gives them an excuse to come check on/hang out with you.

They will not tell you that last part.

Also, while they suck at talking about feelings they’ve actually gotten pretty good at listening to them so if you ever need someone to talk to, Vanderwood is your person.

They even give good advice, Sometimes.

They have lots of life experience. Although their life experience is, uh. Not always transferable to the average everyday person.

It’s occasionally slightly illegal advice. But still pretty good.
